Calendula is one of the best known and versatile herbs and is rich in herbal history, widely used by herbalists throughout the centuries. Calendula is believed to have originated in or near the Mediterranean and is now naturalised all over the world. The herb is also known as common Marigold or ‘pot Marigold’ because the dried flowers were traditionally used in soups and stews. Dried whole flowers and petals are used. Same as Marigold flowers.

Tips/Extra Information
Calendula Tips: In Skin Care products it is a good idea to use the Botanical CO2 Extract and the Tincture or Infusion or so as to gain the benefits of both the fat-soluble (Essential Oil, carotene and resin) and the water-soluble (viscous and saponins) constituents of the plant. The combined action of these constituents produces better results.
Genuine Essential Oil of Marigold is not available and what is mistakenly sold as Oil of Marigold is in fact made from Tagetes (African Marigold).
If you are going to use a Calendula Compress, never leave it on the affected area for more than 1 hour as some people may have an allergic reaction to it if left on for a longer period of time.
For Mouth Wash, use a strong Infusion or up to 10% Calendula Tincture diluted in water or other ingredients
